(a ministry of the Evangelization Apostolate)

“… You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. …” (Matt 22: 34-40)

“… Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not
rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things….” (1 Cor 13:1-13)
